Hi


Would like to find out more about ODAC. What sort of activities do they cover and is it really tough, i.e., physically strenuous and time consuming? Would attaining A1 be possible?

Thanks!!

[quote=\"junkman\"]After reading, it appears that the education system doesn't add value, but stifle some kids through overloading them, while benefiting some select group.


Is it a good education system to make kids so stretched? For that matter, parents as well. This is not a international norm. A rethink on this should be done.

Agree with you. Nowadays, sec kidz way too stretched. My girl is like more than 8hrs in sch everyday, worse than working life. Now i understand why everyone fight for a place in IP. Regretted not putting her in it though she's qualified.

:? But IP hours are equally long, if not longer.heard of ip students going back after 7pm.[/quote]My daughter's friend in RV. Her time-table seems relaxing leh. She always back home by 4.30pm though we stay at woodlands. My poor dd reaching home almost everyday ard 7+pm.

Hello Everyone!

I am deciding in between Infocomm Club and Band.
i wished to learn flute by joining band. (2nd instrument)
on the other hand...
i didn't wish to leave my Infocomm Club as i have been a member since Primary 3.
band have won awards while infocomm club is ... not sure but band is definately better than it in terms of awards achieved.
my parents left the choice to me and i am still deciding wisely.
Anyone can lend a helping hand? :?:

Infocomm can joint or learn later but band can only join this once, though it will be more demanding in terms of time commitment. FLute is a good instrument to learn.

Need to make choices for CCA. DS is interested in joining NCC air. Or military band. But he has been short-listed for choir, even though he has no prev exp in choir or sinnging. :roll: If join choir is it possible to get leadership points? Anyone knows if SJI choir is good. I think their military band is good. But would like to have more info so that we can order our preferences better.

DD went for Chinese/Modern Dance audition and yet to know the status.


However, the teacher asked her to check with the parents whether we support her as the training is expected to be very tough and also cannot go for holiday in the month of June. :roll:

DS has been shortlisted for choir as well. But this sch choir very "xiong": 1 wk 3 days with 2 days having "physical training" - meaning running and physical activities!!! We joke that it is a sports cum performing art combination CCA.


He went for other sports trials and performing art auditions too. Will only know outcome of trials and auditions next week.

Hi Pen88n,

Seems that most of the CCA are quite \"xiong\"!

In Crescent, some CCA like choir and band are also 3 days in a week!!!

Also, they have PE lesson and Fit Run 4 times a week and we have to buy 4 suit of PE attire!!!

Not sure about SJI choir. I checked the last SYF on the SYF website, and it showed that they got Gold(with Honours) in the last SYF 2010. I can't find any SJI in SYF 2009... maybe they didn't take part then.
